A row has broken out after fresh allegations of voting fraud have been put forward by the leader of Tower Hamlets Conservatives who are now calling for a “proper investigation”.

It comes as the Town Hall announced this week that its voting registration system was given a clean bill of health by the Electoral Commission following allegations of voting fraud.

However, leader of the Conservative group, Cllr Peter Golds, dismissed the findings and called both the commission and police “ineffective”.

Last week Cllr Golds sent a 200-page dossier listing examples of unusually high numbers of voters currently registered to the same address to the council and Electoral Commission.

He also plans to send his report, which includes photos of properties with eight to 12 adults registered, to Scotland Yard.

Cllr Golds said: “What I have is a forensic report with examples of an unusually high number of adults under the same roof.”

Information he provided to the Electoral Commission after the 2010 elections did not lead to any police action.

Cllr Golds said: “The Electoral Commission and police have been ineffective in taking action on election fraud. I presented them with evidence after the 2010 elections when 7,000 people where added to the register in one month.
